#1 Correct me iff I'm wrong, but didn't a US Navy-DOD Officio time back say something to the effect that the last Human Pilot of the US Armed Forces was already born, i.e. THAT THE US = USDOD HAD BEGUN ITS TRANSITION FROM MANNED TO UNMANNED/ROBOTIC AIRCRAFT + OTHER THINGYS???

As for Chinese Drones + the PLA in general, there are some hard lessons that only War per se can teach.
